Though actually this is pretty uplifting. The Heartland Institute has all that money and resources, and this is the best argument against AGW they could manage. Seriously. It's like when creationists start trotting out "[some bad man] was a Darwinist" arguments, not only do you know that's all they've got, they know it too!

Both are tacit admissions that they've lost the scientific, factual argument and only have emotional appeals left.

The Unabomber believes in anthropogenic global warming. Ergo, everyone who believes in anthropogenic global warming, including 99.9% of all scientists*, is a homicidal luddite. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense.

[size=9]*the other 0.1% is scientists who take their paychecks from companies doing the polluting responsible for global warming. No conflict of interest there.[/size]

Ratcliff said he believes Dahmer made a true spiritual decision to be baptized.

Convinced of Dahmer's sincerity, Ratcliff said, he will begin meeting with Dahmer at 1:30p.m. Wednesdays, starting next week, to read and study the Bible together.

Dahmer has confessed to killing 17 young men and boys.

On April 1, Mott said, Dahmer typed her a note, thanked her for the Bible and the study lessons, and added:
"I want to accept the Lord. Would you please try to find someone to bring a baptistry tank to the prison?"
In that letter, Dahmer also signed a statement acknowledging that he wanted to accept Christ, Mott said.

Mott said Dahmer also sent her the completed Bible study lessons, which she "graded."
"He did very well," she said of the lessons. "He had to miss two or three (questions), out of 12 lessons."

When prison officials offered the whirlpool, Ratcliff said, he and Dahmer agreed.
Mott said Ratcliff phoned her after Tuesday's ceremony.
"It was just real exciting," she said. "It's all to glorify God."
In his career as a minister and evangelist, Ratcliff said, he has baptized people "in rivers and creeks," but never anyone "so well-known."
Dahmer "seemed to understand very clearly what needed to be done," Ratcliff added.

Unless you're a climate scientist yourself, you have no rational choice but to accept the word of those who are. The vast majority of them agree that global climate change is real, and a lot of the ones who don't are supported by the energy industry, which has a financial stake in denying it. So that makes the Unabomber more rational than the Republican Party.

Unacceptable as that pic is, they're still slightly behind in the 'tackiest ideologue' stakes.
They took theirs down after 24 hours, and correctly claim they were responding in kind to what their opponents have been doing to them since July 2011.

"The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren’t scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."
